i am not on either side because if you take them away you are sayin" go and get a dog from the Humane Sociaty" or "go and get an AKC dog" and for people who dont have the money for an AKC dog or who cant find a dog with some training that they need for it to have at the HS if you keep them you are saying " we let people come and bond with a dog before they buy it, and so you dont have to risk getting a diseased one somewhere else"
